FBI: Med Student Plotted Sex Slave Family

AUGUST 19--A Pennsylvania medical student who allegedly planned to assemble a 'family' of female sex slaves that would reside with him on a farm or island was arrested yesterday on federal child pornography charges.

Jeremy Noyes, 30, was nabbed after illicit images were found in one of his e-mail accounts, according to an FBI affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Erie.

Investigators searched Noyes's Yahoo and Gmail accounts after an ex-girlfriend (and fellow student at the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine) told agents of his 'sexual interest in children.' The woman, Elizabeth Fleming, also provided agents with e-mails in which Noyes, pictured at right, described his bizarre plan to start a 'new society.'

That correspondence included details of Noyes's contact with a New Zealand woman named Alex who planned to move to the U.S. with her four-year-old daughter Abby. Like Fleming, Noyes met the New Zealand woman on collarme.com, a web site for bondage and S&M devotees.

According to the FBI affidavit, a copy of which you'll find here, during an online chat Noyes coached the woman 'on the proper ways to prepare Abby for sexual activity.'

Fleming told investigators that while attending a medical conference in March, Noyes told her that 'his long term intent was to assemble a 'family' of female sex slaves that would begin with Alex and Abby.'

Noyes allegedly intended to impregnate the child 'between the ages of eight and fourteen and then continue to breed the future offspring that would result from his plan,' according to the affidavit. 'Noyes intends to buy a farm or an island where he could put his new society together,' reported FBI Agent Thomas Brenneis.

Noyes, charged with two child porn counts, is being held in the Erie County jail in advance of a detention hearing scheduled for Thursday. If convicted of the felonies, he faces a mandatory minimum of five years in prison on each count (and a maximum of 20 years per charge). (10 pages)
